Steps:
- Place the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Break the chocolate into small pieces directly into the bowl. Microwave it in 20-second intervals, stirring between each bout of heat, until the chocolate is about 75% melted. Stir, allowing the residual heat in the bowl to melt the chocolate completely. (Alternatively, place the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and place over a saucepan containing about 1 inch of barely simmering water. Stir with a wooden spoon until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.) Let the mixture cool for a few minutes, then whisk in the egg yolks one at a time, mixing until smooth after each addition. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, beat the egg whites on medium-high speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form (the peaks should be just starting to hold, and will melt back into themselves after a second). Gradually beat in ¼ cup of the sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form (the peaks will stand straight up when the beaters are lifted from the mixture). Using a large rubber spatula, fold the egg white mixture into the chocolate mixture until uniform. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the heavy cream on medium-high speed until it begins to thicken up. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and the vanilla and continue beating until the cream holds medium peaks (when you lift the beaters or whisk out of the bowl, the peaks will slightly droop down, but they won't lose their shape entirely). Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Be sure it is fully incorporated but don't mix any more than necessary. Divide the mousse between 6 individual glasses, cover, and chill until set, at least 2 hours.
- Up to a few hours before serving, whip the cream until it begins to thicken up. Add the sugar and whip to medium peaks. Dollop the whipped cream over the mousse and top with chocolate shavings.
- Make-Ahead Instructions: Mousse can be made up to 1 day ahead of time. Cover with plastic wrap and keep chilled in the refrigerator. Add whipped cream topping and chocolate shavings up to a few hours before serving.
- Note: Chocolate mousse is made with raw eggs. If that is a concern, try to find pasteurized eggs. Pasteurized eggs have been briefly exposed to heat to destroy any potential bacteria. Whole Foods usually carries them but call your local store to be sure before making a special trip. (Note: eating raw eggs is not advisable for pregnant women, babies, the elderly, or anyone with a compromised immune system.)

Steps:
- Combine the 2 chocolates, orange liqueur, 1/4 cup water, and the vanilla in a heat-proof bowl. Set it over a pan of simmering water just until the chocolate melts. Cool completely to room temperature. Whisk in the orange zest and butter until combined.
- Place the egg yolks and 1/2 cup of the sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on high speed for 4 minutes, or until very thick and pale yellow. With the mixer on low speed, add the chocolate mixture. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Place 1 cup of egg whites (save or discard the rest), the salt, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high speed until firm but not dry. Whisk 1/4 of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture; then fold the rest in carefully with a rubber spatula.
- Without cleaning the bowl or whisk, whip the heavy cream and the remaining tablespoon of sugar until firm. Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Pour the mousse into individual dishes or an 8-cup serving bowl. Chill and decorate with whipped cream and oranges. Serve with extra whipped cream on the side.
- Whip the cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. When it starts to thicken, add the sugar and vanilla and continue to whip until the cream forms stiff peaks. Don't overbeat, or you'll end up with butter!

Steps:
- Place the chocolate chunks and unsalted butter in a heat resistant bowl over simmering water. Stir constantly for the chocolate to melt evenly.
- Once the chocolate has melted, remove the chocolate from the heat. Add the Grand Marnier, espresso powder, and salt. Mix well until fully incorporated.
- Optional: If deciding to use the egg whites, whip the egg whites on high-speed with a mixer until stiff peaks start to form. Add the cream of tartar and whisk for another couple minutes. Gradually add the sugar until fully incorporated. Gently fold the egg whites in with the chocolate.
- Mix on high-speed the whipping cream until it begins to thicken. Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt. Mix until firm and fluffy. Remember to not overmix the whipped cream, or it will become chunky. Remove 1½ cups of the whipped cream and set aside. (This will be used to decorate the chocolate mousse later).
- Gently fold the remaining whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until fully combined and fluffy.
- If transferring the chocolate mousse into glasses, put the chocolate mousse in a piping bag or a Ziploc bag with the corner cut off. Pipe the chocolate mousse out of the bag into the glass in a swirl motion. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours for the flavor to develop and set. Or if serving from the bowl, refrigerate and cover the bowl.
- Before serving the chocolate mousse, dollop the 1½ cups of whipped cream evenly on top of the glasses or pipe the whipped cream in a design you like. Garnish the chocolate mousse with berries and mint leaves. Serve cold. Enjoy!

HUEY'S WHITE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE WITH GRAND MARNIER
Another of Huey's recipes: this one he called Matthew's White Chocolate Mousse but I have no idea who Matthew is! Huey (Iain Hewitson) is a larger than life Melbourne restaurateur and chef who also features on his own extremely popular TV show. I have posted several of his recipes on Zaar. The preparation and cooking times below do not include the 2-3 hours chilling time and the 30 minutes recommended for allowing the mousses to come closer to room temperature. If you prefer your mousse colder, then this last 30 minute step could be omitted.
